Installation error

I am doing a binary install on a fresh copy of RHEL4

(clone CENTOS).. I am receiving this error message at the end of the

install..
Soap call failed: 500 Can't connect to localhost:7777 (connect:

Connection refused) at /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/zmcontrol line 230
Has anyone experienced this error??

This could be a firewall problem. When installing the distro maybe

you enabled the firewall? Can you run:
# system-config-securitylevel
and disable firewall and retry the installation?
To startover a Zimbra install, do this to first remove it completely:
# cd /your/zimbra/download/directory

# ./install.sh -u
Now you are ready to do the install again:
# cd /your/zimbra/download/directory

# ./install.sh config.saved
If you don't have a 'config.saved' file from an earlier install, you

can take the install interview again.

Port 7777 is the port that the control daemon runs on. When you get this error, check to see if the zmmon process is running (there should be 3 of them):
ps auxww | grep zmmon
If it's running, and you still can't contact it, then it's probably a firewall issue, as the previous response mentioned.
If it's NOT running, take a look at /var/log/zimbra.log, and see if it logged an error on startup.
If it didn't, you can try to start it again - as the zimbra user, zmcontrol startup will start the control process.

I got this error the 1st time I installed, however it turned out to be that I'd run out of disk space (penalty of using a VM with a 4GB disk!)
one thing to check anyway.
